Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Workout at none against SoundsFit's 16. Workout also leads on price ($1.99 vs $4.99) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 18.6). SoundsFit's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 18 months). On ads and device support there is nothing between them.
